Welcome, I'm Gary Patterson with some comments on emergency notification procedures. Think of this as a situation of what would you would do if there was a crisis event. The first thing you have to do is you have to get your management team to agree on how the procedure is going to roll out. The second item, to test this ahead of time, what is the most likely event that you would need an emergency procedure for? Consider what that is, look at it, practice with that, because the third item you have to do is, oops, ouch! What are we gonna do when this gets out to the media? And, it's not a question of if you have something that goes out to the media, it's just when. So, if you're looking at a situation where you say "we thought of what would be, we've got everybody's buy in, we've tested and we've gone to someone that tells us what we should do if the media shows up." So, 74 people don't all decide that they should be interviewed. You now have an emergency notification procedure in effect, and the opportunity is spend just a little bit of money and get an expert to tell you about this and they can tell you what you can do to do it better, 'cause right now, a practice run is great. Thank you for joining us.
